Cancer Causing Chemicals

[marymontelongo]

There are cancerous chemicals in many of the cosmetics and personal care products we use. These chemicals are in baby products as well. There is very little federal oversight. The manufacturers' of these products have "safety boards" that supposedly oversee the contents and production. Some companies offer safer products than others. The consumer needs to be aware of dangerous products and not use them. For more information on the studies, dangers and how to decipher the poisonous products from the safe ones, go to www:HealthandFitnessOutlook.com. This site also offers a free very informative newsletter.

There are several bad chemicals in make up, but none that I have heard of that are cancer causing. Some ingredients used in make up have been linked to cancer (such as talc), but the amount of use and proper skin care will be a deciding factor in any skin regime. Just remember to wash your face every morning and night (before you go to bed) and before applying new make up (like for changing your make up from day to night time looks). Make sure to throw out anything that is over a year old and never share make up. Also, be sure that you get new mascara about once a month, because you never want to mess up with something that surrounds your eyes.
